Test your knowledge of literature's mad scientists!

http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/quiz/2008/sep/10/sciencefictionfantasyandhorror.cern

My score:
"You scored 7 out of a possible 14.
You've emerged a fair way from the primordial slime but there's a long way to go before you're standing fully upright. Back to the lab."

Back to Misunderstood Scientist school for me!

Note: This is posted here in the Library, the reasonong being it's an article, ergo something to be read. If anyone thinks there's a more appropriate place for it, go ahead.

Couldn't resist:

You scored 10 out of a possible 14

Your may have been teased by schoolfriends as a science geek but you'll have the last laugh – listen out for that recruitment call from CERN

I get to blow up the world... Huzzah Twisted Evil

Likewise, ten of fourteen. Which means that with the first half of the quiz being a series of educated guesses, and being mostly sure of the second half... I managed to make an educated guess and got it right.

Dammit! I only got 8 out of a possible 14....

I have disgraced myself as a mad scientist. Embarassed

Ah well, I don't need to know of other mad scientists. I make my own way.

I landed a sixer as well. Blast. Back to the books.

I was glad to see the test reference the Igors.

14 out of 14. Though two of them were lucky/educated guesses...

A call from CERN ? Pah. I'm BUILDING my own CERN. That will show them after they laughed at my theories. Oh, yes. Twisted Evil

8 out of 14. I'm not really a mad scientist, I'm only moderately deranged. Laughing

9 outta 14...... but there was only one of the questions that I knew.....

Does that mean that I have to go and re-bury all the body parts I've been putting together? And now what do I do with my brilliant invention of "blood soup" to re-animate the body? can't just flush it down the drain or I might get cited for improper toxic waste disposal.... Drat... I shoulda been reading more novels instead of perfecting my maniacal laugh.....

Nooooo! I got 7, but on each question I got wrong I seriously considered what turned out to be the correct answer.

10 of 14. Three of the 10 were guesses. Now I have several new additions to my "must-read" list. Very Happy
